Factory pre-overclocking of graphics accelerators has already become a common thing for us. Today we are going to discuss on the pre-overclocked modifications of Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB and see how it can improve performance in contemporary games.

Performance in Third-Person 3D Shooters

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

The XFX card and the GeForce 8800 GTX reach the 25fps mark at 1280x1024 yet cannot overcome it. It means the game is still unplayable at the highest level of detail. The GeForce 8800 GTX is ahead at the higher resolutions thanks to its more advanced memory subsystem.

Tomb Raider: Legend

The XFX card is 12 to 14% faster than the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX at high resolutions in terms of average performance but the minimum speed is the same, which means the same level of playing comfort. The frame rate is high enough for this game genre. Like in many other tests, the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB doesn’t speed up much when overclocked.
